I guess it's too much effort to take some pictures and fill out the forms.

Apparently, the tanks that Bologna's gotten back under replacement are all shrunken back to original size.
Wow
Hope they don't turn around and use this as an excuse to deny claims

Maybe he's running a personal record of how many claims he rejects...
The worst part was how he tried to explain it "convincingly"...
"Ducati NA took a bath on these tanks."
I am not sure how an individual service manager is privy to the contractual and legal arrangements that Ducati might have with its supplier(s), nor how he would know precisely how many tanks could be affected -- nor what its cost model/margin could be. I should start collecting these comments and make a book of them.

I just find it funny that my local dealer is so willing to take care of these and others are just adamantly against helping.

+1. I went to Trebour in Ledgewood, NJ. Good 'ol Joe couldn't have been better. Got pics taken and a new tank was
installed
within 2 weeks.

You ain't kidding.
I called Cliff's and Gold Coast, they both said bring it in for the service manager to look at.
Guess what I'm doing next week?

Don't the dealers get paid full retail and labor from Ducati for warranty items? I was always told they do, so they are getting paid for the part and to install it. So what's the problem with some dealers?

They do get labor. Parts are supplied by the factory. They're just being lazy.

Not true from my info...
keep in mind it makes no difference how DNA does their accounting.
What is important is if they take care of their customers, and from my perspective DNA is doing exactly that.
If you have a suck dealer find a different one.

Not sure what your point is. I was not referring to DNA, just that specific dealer. The local service guy told me that DNA is reimbursing the full labor. The tank is provided by the factory so it doesn't cost them a penny. The suck dealer is the one that is lazy.

Those dealers not willing to do it is bull. The dealer I went to, Modesto Ducati, started the paperwork the same day I brought the bike by. They almost did it over the phone, but said they had to see it to make sure. A couple quick glances and some wow that is one of the worse ones I have seen and I was done.

Wow, glad I found this thread. Happy to see Modesto Ducati is helping out. I'm probably taking mine in on Saturday, I'll have to give them a call. It's warped, but not sure if it's warped enough for replacement.

The real point is that DNA seems to be making good on the claims, and if the dealer you visit doesn't handle it to your satisfaction simply find another dealer.
A discussion of DNAs accounting methods is pretty much hearsay and irrelevant.
I'd suggest the 'service guy' doesn't have a clue what the dealer statement looks like.
